As a Chairperson of the Emirates Thyroid Congress (ETC), and on behalf of my colleagues, committee members, it gives me great pleasure to invite you to our second annual congress, taking place in Abu Dhabi on March 13th & 14th of 2020.
Following the success of our first one which was highlighted by the pronounced delegates and speakers interactions, in these planned two days, we will be delivering a cutting-edge program where advances and recent discoveries in the field of thyroidology will be discussed. We will also address special population category topics such as thyroid diseases in pediatrics and pregnancy. Our program will feature plenaries, experts in the field panel discussions, cases based discussions and research posters presentations. The congress will focus in-depth on thyroid neoplasm and functional disorders as well as minimally invasive surgical approaches and robotic surgery. All that will be brought to you by high-class leaders in the field of thyroid from across the world in order to form an unforgotten educational experience that takes into consideration best available evidence, technology and experience.

Towards a practice of excellence, we look forward to seeing you all in the beautiful Abu Dhabi, the capital. A place where culture and evolution merge.
